Cannot connect anymore with ssh

Dear all,

From yesterday, I cannot connect on a server. It's a rhel 7.1, properly installed 1 month ago, not special configuration.

I did have 2 logins: "root" and "parta". I've got both password, and both are not working anymore... But, I did not change anything, nor I someone else connected to this server.

There is the ssh -vvvv:

Code:

[..]

debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method

debug3: authmethod_lookup password

debug3: remaining preferred: ,password

debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password

debug1: Next authentication method: password

root@xxxx's password:

debug3: packet_send2: adding 64 (len 58 padlen 6 extra_pad 64)

debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply

debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password

Permission denied, please try again.

I have a physical access to the server, so I can recover the root password (boot in recover mode), but I don't think it's only a "password" problem. Can it be something else ? (wrong permissions,..?)

Best regards,

Then it's not an ssh or network problem. It could be something got screwed up in /etc/passwd. When you go into recover mode, can you reset the passwords? Does that change anything? What if you set up ssh keys to allow another machine to log in without a password?

Yes, it's a production server, so I'll need to wait a little bit to reboot in recover mode.
I'll check:

/etc/passwd
/etc/sshd
